About this map

The Jicarilla Mountains dominate the landscape of this 2011 survey, centered on the high-desert mining and ranching legacies of Lincoln County. The settlement of Jicarilla serves as a focal point, supported by the Jicarilla School and the Jicarilla Cemetery. The region’s industrial history is deeply etched into the terrain, with a high concentration of mineral workings including the Lucky Strike Mine, Black Gold Mine, and the Magnetite Iron Lode.

Evidence of a distributed ranching economy is seen through numerous named water sources and residences such as Ramsdale Place, Snow Ranch, and Cox Ranch Windmill. The network of backroads, including Co Rd A044 and Pat Garrett Ln, connects isolated outposts like Reventon and Sureshot across the canyons and mesas. From the heights of Monument Peak to the depths of Archuleta Canyon, this map provides a detailed record of the intersections between 20th-century mining infrastructure and long-standing family landholdings.
